There's a concerted campaign against him from the far right. Pick any video on YouTube about Avi Lewis and look at the comments. They're consistently pushing the same points, and ramped up the attacks the day he got elected. They misrepresent his views consistently in the same ways, no matter what he says. I highly doubt it's an organic response by an average selection of Canadians. It smells like a far right onslaught designed to sow doubt about someone they feel the need to shut down, and in a way that's a promising sign.
